i was thinking that, but maybe the daughter is a decoy? then again i wonder if they'd have the balls to present the original twist to american audiences, seems like too much controversy when Spike is clearly doing this for a buck.

seriously did no one else laugh their ass off during the trailer? it just looks SO bad, i mean that also in the literal sense, it looks like shitty video a lot of the time. like the poster, which looks like a pic taken with someone's phone.

Solaris is an good example of a remake made right. They didn't even remake the most memorable scene from the original because they knew that it would be totally worthless in comparison. They tried something different and the result was great. Soderbergh knew better and Spike Lee should also know better.

Nice to see some love for Soderbergh's Solaris, I thought I was the only one who thought it was great. I keep returning to that film.

just realized that in my remake of a previous post i, for reference, called Brett Ratner sleepless. pretty random of me, think that happened because i like both of them, and anyway it fits within the proposed guidelines for remakes

is no one else interested in seeing josh brolin give it to the other olsen? was looking forward to sharlto copley's take on that character but he seems to have taken the easy way out with the androgynous brit accent. i'm not precious about the original, but any benefit of the doubt i had given this to start has gone out the window.

That tweet has singlehandedly almost convinced me of never see any of Spike Lee's films again. And I am a BIG fan of Do the Right thing, Malcolm X, 25th Hour and When the Levees Broke. BIG. But that is a low answer, and is not the response of an intelligent person. It's almost as if a 15 year old virgin teenager somehow got ahold of his tweeter account. "It's not MY problem?" Really? That's all he could say after reading the guy's letter? Didn't he understand one single thing in it? What's with using Caps at the beginning of every word? Doesn't he know how to write? Isn't he a fucking a writer? And please..."YO"? "YO"??????? Who is this? a mentally challenged hack? I'm deeply disappointed by the way he's handled this so far, and i guess he does deserves to be making a fucking Oldboy remake instead of more interesting projects.
